Gee... Folk have no patience any more (:-P)

I have loads of patience

Mmmm, sounds good.


- Boinc Manager doesn't! It just sent a result
back, and it wa the first time of asking for a new WU.

It's just following its algorithms ya know. Itself victim to whatever external inputs and responses it gets given.

What does 'reset project' do exactly? Wipe all your units?

Yep.

All system state and WUs and results are deleted and it then tries to start up afresh. It is intended as the final option to reset from an unexpected mess. Afterwards, it must contact the project servers for new work.

If you click it a few times, the server times you out for a while as a defence against a possible DOS attack.


It should be working again for you by now.

Good luck,
Martin
